Atalanta will be looking to keep their European challenge on track this Sunday when they travel to Cagliari. The home side will also have a desperate need for points to avoid dropping into the relegation places at this late stage of the season.
Serie A Preview
It promises to be a dramatic final six weeks in Serie A, with interesting battles taking shape at both ends of the standings. Atalanta will be among the leading contenders to achieve a European finish in the Italian top-flight, but they will need to put together a run of victories to achieve that finish in Serie A this term.
Atalanta finally got back on track in the previous round of matches after landing a much-needed victory against Napoli. It was a stunning display by the European chasers, with two of their efforts being scored in the opening 45 minutes. However, they will need to keep that winning sequence alive this weekend, as they currently sit two points behind fifth-place AS Roma after failing to win in four matches before last weekend’s big victory.
There will also be pressure on Cagliari coming into this round of matches, as they sit just two points clear of the relegation places after 30 rounds of matches. However, they have at least shown some impressive form in recent weeks after winning two of their last four matches. Furthermore, they have suffered just one defeat over that period.
Cagliari returned to action following the international break with a hard-fought home draw against Hellas Verona. It was essential that they didn’t lose that match, but the fact that their advantage over the bottom three remains slim means that every point between now and the end of the season is vital.
Cagliari vs Atalanta Head to Head
Atalanta has an excellent record in this fixture after winning five of the previous six league matches between the teams. That includes a 2-0 success in the reverse clash this term. The only win for Cagliari in the last six clashes was achieved away from home in February 2022.
Cagliari vs Atalanta Prediction
There will be big pressure on both of these teams ahead of this clash on Sunday. However, Atalanta’s dominant record in previous matches with their rivals make them the standout selection, and we find it challenging to overlook the prospect of an away victory this weekend.
